E3 2016 Public Events

Unlike previous years, E3 2016 will have more Public Events than ever before located right outside the convention center, allowing guests to attend events without having to go to the main show floors of the convention.

Numerous companies, like EA, Disney, and Activision - have declined to appear inside the convention center, and so certain companies have decided to host their events elsewhere.

The Entertainment Software Association is hosting a free event open to the public just next door to E3's LA Convention Centre. From June 14 - 16, attendees will be treated to live entertainment (including a dance competition), playable games, VR demos, industry personality meet-ups, and exclusive merchandise.

To learn more about E3 Live 2016 and to register for the free event, head over to its website.

Instead of attending the traditional E3 Conference and having a booth on the Convention Center Show Floor, Electronic Arts is holding a public event called EA Play. This event runs from June 12th to the 14th, and allows the public to see and play demos of upcoming games in both Los Angeles and London.

Attendees must plan to reserve tickets for the free event beforehand, and can do so by signing up to learn more about EA Play at EA's website.

From June 13 - 15, 500 fans will get to attend this E3 event hosted by Microsoft. Participants will be granted entry to the Xbox E3 2016 conferences on Monday and to the Forza Motorsport event on June 13, a fan celebration at the Premiere House at Regal L.A. Live.

Tickets are only available at the Microsoft store at Westfield Century City in L.A. on Saturday, June 11. For more information on the event, check out Major Nelson's blog post.
